Re: Failing Schaffner IEC Inlet Filters
NOS ones fail in storage.
I found these two WYMA ones and one was split wide open.
The faulty one is the golden resin type and has quietly exploded in a draw while the other made with clear resin does not look quite so bad. I am going to keep it for testing when i have finished my cap tester that will have a maximum test voltage of 3KV and will work as a range extender for an AVO.
I have even added close ups of the leads. They are DNOS (duff new old stock).
